The Western Saddle Guide is not the seller of the saddles featured and does not make any representations about them. We encourage all potential buyers to do their own due diligence on the seller and the saddle before purchasing.

This week we’ve discovered a saddle for sale from a maker you probably haven’t heard of – Wilford Lewis. Lewis is out of Hereford, Texas and comes from a long line of saddle makers. Wilford died in 2007 but his sons are carrying on the tradition of quality saddle making.

This is a beautifully designed and balanced roping saddle. It has a rawhide-covered wood tree, 16 inch suede seat, and 7 inch gullet. The floral tooling over the majority of the saddle is gorgeous and the added touch of coin conchos gives it even more flair.

The seller has included a good variety of photos so that you can really examine the saddle.

This is a well crafted and very handsome saddle. As of this writing, there are only two bids and a current high bid of $229.16. This one is definitely worth taking a look at.
